2009 Honda Freed

Rear seats can be hung up to allow for useable load space in the rear.

Freed is available in 7 and 8 seat models. Two front seats, two or three middle seats and three third row seats.

Freed uses cheap plastics to keep costs down.

Freed has busy looking interior, a feature of current Honda models. Ergonomics should be good though.

Honda Freed has real-time fuel usage guage, digital rev counter and self illuminating dials, but will Thai version get these?

Multi level dash design is similar to Stepwagon. Dials are positioned high, to be viewed over the steering wheel.

Don't expect Satnav to feature on Thai version. Honda will likely want to keep features minimal to compete with Avanza on price.

Not much in the way of load space when all seats are in use.

Freed features three seatbelts in the third row. But would you want to sit there?

Honda Freed might be coming to Thailand.

Honda Freed is busy looking on side profile. Front looks a bit like the Jazz?

The Freed has a very thin looking rear bumper, and rear impacts will wreck the rear lid!

Honda Freed looks good from the front. It is hard to tell what size it is from images, but it is comparible to Toyota's Avanza.

Freed is powered by 1.5 litre unit, with similar power output to that of the current Thai Jazz model.
